Hot Press (1977-)still exists as a post-mid-life-crisis right-on-politik lifestyle magazine,
but good musical coverage up to 1982 and Bill Graham remained a
perceptive critic

Hot Press Yearbooks 1979-88

V.G.Plus, The Irish Record Collector Magazine (1996-97)Ran for 3 issues, launched by well known Sex Pistols collector Gavin Walsh.

Other early music magazines include: Gun (early 70s) produced by the Bolgers;
Buck Out, circa 1973-74, possibly an early Stokes brothers venture (Niall Stones was definitely a contributor);
Scene (c1975) which was the direct precursor of Hotpress; and others. Obviously there is also
Spotlight and it's successor Starlight. In the 60s there was Hitsville.
And there was regular (often excellent) music coverage in In Dublin magazine for a number
of years. This section greatly needs expansion. If anyone out there thinks they
can contribute to this subject, please get in touch.
